Combination Cancer Therapy Methods and Agents (UCLA Case No. 2024-084)
UCLA researchers from the Department of Medicine, Pathology, & Laboratory Medicine and Molecular & Medical Pharmacology have identified a novel cell-based therapy that leads to enhanced immunotherapy efficacy and overcomes treatment resistance to immune checkpoint blockade in non-small cell lung cancer. BACKGROUND: Non-small cell lung cancer...

Engineered T Cells Capable of Simultaneous Tumor Targeting and Alteration of Tumor Microenvironment Through Vasculature Normalization (UCLA Case No. 2023-264)
UCLA researchers in the Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Molecular Genetics have built a series of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells that target different antigens and secrete different anti-angiogenic proteins. Additionally, researchers also constructed bispecific CARs that respond to tumor antigen and pro-angiogenic molecules. BACKGROUND:...

Fully Human Antibodies and Antibody Drug Conjugates Targeting Tumor Endothelial Marker 8 (TEM8) for the Treatment of Cancer
Abstract: The tumor microenvironment consists of a heterogenous population of cells which includes tumor cells and tumor-associated stroma cells (TASCs). The TASCs promote tumor angiogenesis, proliferation, invasion and metastasis. Because stroma cells are found in both healthy and cancerous tissue, targeting the tumor stroma has been difficult due...
